Description

  The present invention relates to a liquid dropper bottle with a dropper set in a cap part.

  Due to the recent health boom and natural orientation, various natural health foods are attracting attention. Among these natural health foods, natural antibiotics produced by bees, or propolis, also called natural cell activators, are expected to provide health enhancement, constitution improvement, or high anticancer effects. Has attracted particular attention as a thing.

  Such propolis is mixed with ethanol or other suitable solvent and supplied as a droppable liquid (propolis liquid). For example, for health maintenance purposes, 20 to 30 drops of the liquid is supplied with an appropriate amount of water, hot water, milk. , Dripping into beverages such as coffee, tea, juice, honey, drinks or alcoholic beverages and orally ingesting three times a day in the morning, noon, and evening, or in the morning, noon, evening, and In addition, it is said that 50 to 100 drops are dripped into the beverage four times a day before going to bed and taken orally.

  As a liquid container such as propolis which is suitable for ingestion by such a method and can obtain a high effect in a relatively small amount, as shown in FIG. 4, a dropper bottle (hereinafter referred to as “dropper bottle” in which a dropper is set in a cap part is used. β ") is proposed by Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3069533.

  The dropper bottle β will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the dropper bottle β, FIG. 5 is an exploded explanatory view of a cap with a dropper attached to the dropper part, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view in a use state showing effects unique to the dropper bottle β.

  The dropper bottle β is composed of a container body A, a dropper cap portion B ′, and an overcap C.

  The container main body A is similar to a normal screw mouth bottle and can contain liquid. On the other hand, the dropper cap portion B 'is a detachable cap that can seal the container body A and has a dropper function. The dropper cap portion B 'includes a perforated cap portion 1, a dropper rubber portion 2', and a dropper main body portion 3 '.

  The perforated cap portion 1 is provided with a communication hole 1a for communicating the inside and the outside when the dropper bottle β is sealed by the dropper cap portion A. In this example, the female screw 1b on the inner surface of the perforated cap portion 1 and the male screw A3 provided around the opening of the container body A are screwed together to seal the dropper bottle β.

  Further, the dropper rubber part 2 ′ is attached to the communication hole 1a of the perforated cap part 1 by its communication hole mounting base part 2a ′, but at the position where the dropper bottle β is outside when the dropper bottle β is sealed by the dropper cap part A. The operation portion 2b ′ is provided, and the operation portion 2b ′ includes a cavity 2d ′ communicating with a dropper body portion mounting hole 2c ′ provided in the communication hole mounting base portion 2a ′.

  The dropper body 3 'is a glass or plastic transparent material in which the base 3a' is mounted in the dropper body mounting hole 2c 'of the dropper rubber section 2', and the vicinity of the tip becomes narrower toward the tip 3b '. It is the cylindrical member comprised from these. Further, on the side surface of the dropper main body 3 ′, for example, a scale 3c and a “number 3d” indicating a volume are provided every 0.5 mL so that the inner volume when the liquid is sucked can be understood from the tip 3b ′. It is attached.

  Such a dropper bottle β discharges the air in the cavity 2d ′ inside the dropper rubber part 2 when the operator presses the operation part 2b ′ of the dropper rubber part 2 ′ with a finger. After the tip 3b 'of the main body 3' is inserted into the liquid D such as propolis liquid contained in the container main body A, the dropper body 2 'is gradually released from the pressure by pressing the operation part 2b' of the dropper rubber part 2 '. When the liquid is sucked into 3 ′ and the liquid level of the liquid sucked into the dropper main body 3 ′ reaches a predetermined scale position on the side surface of the dropper main body 3 ′, the tip 3b ′ of the dropper main body 3 ′ is After removing from the container main body A, the tip 3b ′ of the dropper main body 3 ′ is inserted into the target container or the like, and the operation part 2b ′ of the dropper rubber part 2 ′ is pressed again with a finger to obtain a predetermined volume of liquid. Take out It has been designed so that it can be.

  The dropper bottle β has an overcap having a dome portion C1 that protects the operation portion 2b ′ of the dropper rubber 2 ′ so that the operation portion 2b ′ of the dropper rubber 2 ′ is not inadvertently pressed when not used or transported. C is attached. The base portion C2 of the overcap C is fitted to the outer periphery of the perforated cap portion 1 so that the overcap C does not inadvertently come off the dropper cap portion B ′ inside the base portion C2 of the overcap C. A plurality of protrusions C3 parallel to the vertical direction in the figure are provided.

  Further, when using the liquid contained in the dropper bottle, the outer periphery of the perforated cap part 1 is arranged so that the dropper cap part B ′ can be easily rotated when the dropper cap part B ′ is removed from the container body A. Since many fine grooves are provided along the vertical direction in the figure, the inside of the base C1 of the overcap C and the outer periphery of the screw cap 1 are not in close contact.

  The point to be noted in the dropper bottle according to such utility model registration No. 3069533 is different from the general dropper in the cylindrical dropper main body portion 3 that becomes narrower toward the tip 3b near the tip. The vicinity of the tip of the cylindrical dropper main body 3 is bent (angle θ in FIG. 5), and the tip 3b of the dropper main body 3 is displaced from the cylinder axis of the dropper main body (offset position). It is to be.

  Here, natural health foods are generally expensive. In particular, propolis, especially the raw materials themselves, is a waste of a small amount of high-quality propolis at the quasi-pharmaceutical level, which has many ingredients that are effective for maintaining and improving health compared to general propolis. Can not.

  However, in the dropper bottle, due to its structure, the length of the dropper body 3 is naturally required to be a length that does not reach the bottom A1 of the container body A when sealed by the dropper cap B ′. When the amount of liquid in A decreases, the content liquid cannot be effectively sucked into the container main body A.

However, in the dropper bottle β according to the utility model registration No. 3069533 by the present inventor, the tip 3b of the dropper main body 3 is provided at a position bent with respect to the axis of the dropper main body 3 as described above. Therefore, when the content liquid becomes small, as shown in FIG. 6, the container body A is tilted sideways, and the remaining liquid (the liquid level at that time is indicated by the symbol D ″) is collected at the bottom of the inner side surface A2. Therefore, it is possible to effectively suck.
Utility Model Registration No. 3069533

  Although it was a dropper bottle according to Utility Model Registration No. 3069533 having the above epoch-making effect, various problems occurred when it was used for actual use.

  The dropper bottle with the scale of 0.5mL as mentioned above has been put into practical use for the past several years, and the current instructions etc. have 1mL and the number of drops. In spite of the conversion method being described (for example, “1cc is about 40 drops”), especially in the case of elderly people, the scale based on cc or mL indicated on the dropper body and the number of drops Since the relationship cannot be understood, the current situation is that the volume management based on the actual number of dropped droplets, which has been conventionally performed, is still being performed. In addition, at that time, counting of a large number of drops, such as 30 drops, 50 drops, or 100 drops, is cumbersome or miscounted. An expensive liquid such as high-quality propolis that cannot be sufficiently obtained cannot be effectively used, or troubles such as inconvenience due to excessive drinking occur.

  Many users who manage the volume with this number of droplets are not accustomed to handling the dropper, and instead of pressing the dropper rubber part with a finger to drip the droplet, the rubber part is touched with the finger. Since it is dropped by striking, the size of the droplet is not stable, and it is likely to be an inappropriate amount of intake as well.

  Further, depending on the shape of the dropper main body, the accuracy of the diameter due to manufacturing errors, or the conditions such as the temperature and speed when the content liquid is dropped, the volume per drop may not be as expected.

  In this way, a dropper bottle that allows users from the past few years to easily measure the correct amount of intake has been demanded.

  The present invention provides a dropper bottle that improves the above-mentioned conventional problems, that is, an inexperienced person or a user who has been managing the volume of liquid droplets for a long period of time can easily understand an accurate intake amount. For the purpose.

  In order to solve the above problems, the dropper bottle of the present invention has a container body A capable of containing a liquid, and a dropper cap part having a dropper function capable of sealing and detaching the container body A, as described in claim 1. A dropper cap having a communication hole for connecting the inside and the outside when the dropper bottle is sealed by the dropper cap, and the perforated cap A dropper main body mounted on the communication hole mounting base at the position where the dropper bottle is externally mounted when the dropper bottle is sealed by the dropper cap. A dropper rubber part having a cavity communicating with the hole, and a communication hole attachment base is attached to the body part attachment hole of the dropper rubber part, and the vicinity of the tip becomes narrower toward the tip. A cylindrical dropper body made of a bright material is provided, and a drop scale corresponding to the number of drops of the target liquid to be contained in the dropper bottle and a number are attached to the side of the dropper body with reference to the tip. A dropper bottle.

  According to the dropper bottle of the present invention, the above-described unique configuration eliminates the need for conversion that conventionally used the conversion formula for the relationship between milliliters and the number of droplets at the time of ingestion, and depends on the processing accuracy of the tip of the dropper body. In addition, it is possible to reliably ingest the original expected volume, and an operation in which a liquid is dropped by hitting the operation unit with a finger by the indication of the scale corresponding to the liquid droplet and the number is clearly performed. Will be able to understand the exact operation.

  Hereinafter, an example α of the dropper bottle according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a dropper bottle α, FIG. 2 is an exploded explanatory view of a cap with a dropper attached to the dropper part, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view in a use state showing the effects unique to this dropper bottle α (cross-sectional view) The dropper main body 3 is partially shown in a side view for the purpose of explanation).

  In addition, the code | symbol in the following description used the same code | symbol in the case of the same member as the dropper bottle (beta) based on a prior art.

  The dropper bottle α includes a container main body A, a dropper cap part B, and an overcap C.

  The container main body A is similar to a normal screw mouth bottle and can contain liquid. On the other hand, the dropper cap part B is a detachable cap capable of sealing the container main body A and has a dropper function. The dropper cap portion B includes a perforated cap portion 1, a dropper rubber portion 2, and a dropper main body portion 3.

  The perforated cap portion 1 is provided with a communication hole 1a for communicating the inside and the outside when the dropper bottle α is sealed by the dropper cap portion B. In this example, the female screw 1b on the inner surface of the perforated cap portion 1 and the male screw A3 provided around the opening of the container body A are screwed together to seal the dropper bottle α.

  Further, the dropper rubber part 2 is attached to the communication hole 1a of the perforated cap part 1 by the communication hole mounting base part 2a, but the operation part is located at an external position when the dropper bottle α is sealed by the dropper cap part B. The operation portion 2b has a cavity 2d that communicates with a dropper main body mounting hole 2c provided in the communication hole mounting base 2a.

  The dropper main body 3 is a cylinder made of a transparent material of glass or plastic, in which the base 3a is mounted in the dropper main body mounting hole 2c of the dropper rubber section 2, and the vicinity of the tip becomes narrower toward the tip 3b. It is a shaped member. Further, the side surface of the dropper main body 3 is provided with a scale 3c and a number 3d indicating the volume every 0.5 mL so that the inner volume when the liquid is sucked can be seen with the tip 3b as a base point. The drop number corresponding scale 3e and the drop number corresponding number 3f are attached. In this example, these numbers and scales are all printed in white, but the drop number corresponding scale 3e and the drop number corresponding number 3f, and the scale 3c and the volume number 3d can be printed in different colors. Sometimes the semantic differences between the two become clearer.

  In addition, the drop number corresponding scale 3e and the drop number corresponding number 3f in this example α are standard sizes in a propolis liquid (a mixture of a propolis extraction component and ethanol or other solvent) which is a content liquid of the container α. It is attached according to the volume of the droplet.

  As shown in this example, the number indicating the scale and volume every 0.5 mL to 1 mL and the number corresponding to the number of drops and the number and the numbers are written together. It can be accepted without any confusion by both the person who was taking the number of drops converted from the volume.

  Since the tip body 3 of the example α is bent in the vicinity of the tip 3b, and the tip 3b of the dropper body 3 is at a position (offset position) deviated from the axis of the cylinder, the dropper according to the above prior art is used. The effect that can be effectively used even when the amount of the remaining liquid is small, as described with reference to FIG. 6 by the dropper main body portion 3 ′ of the bottle β, is also obtained in this example α.

  Further, the dropper main body part 3 of this example α is attached at a position where the scale corresponding to the number of drops is determined on the basis of the displacement position from the axis of the cylindrical dropper main body part at the tip of the dropper body part. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, when the operating portion 2b is held with the finger of the right hand so that the tip 3b of the dropper main body portion 3 is directed downward, the scale and numbers are on the operator side. Therefore, the operator can easily understand the volume of liquid sucked into the dropper main body 3 or the number of droplets. In this example, the case where the operation with the right hand is performed is shown. However, when the operation with the left hand is assumed, these scales and numerals may be shown on the opposite side surface of the cylindrical dropper main body 3.

  In the dropper bottle α, for example, when the operator presses the operation part 2 of the dropper rubber part 2 with a finger, the air in the cavity 2d inside the dropper rubber part 2 is discharged, and then the dropper main body part 3 Is inserted into the liquid D such as a propolis liquid contained in the container body A, and then the operation part 2b of the dropper rubber part 2 is gradually released to suck the liquid into the dropper body part 3. When the liquid level of the liquid sucked into the dropper main body 3 reaches a predetermined scale position on the side of the dropper main body 3, the tip 3b of the dropper main body 3 is taken out from the container main body A, and then the dropper main body 3 It is designed so that a predetermined volume of liquid can be taken out by inserting the distal end 3b of the tube into a target container or the like and pressing the operation portion 2b of the dropper rubber portion 2 with a finger again.

  The dropper bottle α is provided with an overcap C having a dome portion C1 for protecting the operation portion 2b of the dropper rubber 2 so that the operation portion 2b of the dropper rubber 2 is not inadvertently pressed when not used or transported. ing. The base portion C2 of the overcap C is fitted to the outer periphery of the perforated cap portion 1, and the base portion C2 of the overcap C is provided on the inner side so that the overcap C does not inadvertently come off the dropper cap portion B. A plurality of protrusions C3 parallel to the vertical direction in the figure are provided.

  Further, when using the liquid contained in the dropper bottle α, the outer periphery of the perforated cap portion 1 is arranged so that the dropper cap portion B can be easily rotated when the dropper cap portion B is removed from the container body A. Since many fine grooves are provided along the vertical direction in the figure, the inside of the base C1 of the overcap C and the outer periphery of the cap 1 are not in close contact.

  Here, since the dropper rubber portion 2 'of the dropper bottle β is generally a rubber material made of natural rubber (other nitrile rubber can be used), the gas barrier property is poor.

  That is, when a dropper bottle β containing about 20 ml (standard filling amount) of a propolis solution containing ethanol as a solvent was held at 35 ° C., a weight loss of 0.25 g was observed in 9 days. This weight loss is 5 g or more on a half year basis, and it can be seen that maintaining the quality of the propolis liquid and maintaining the proper intake amount may be difficult.

  In the dropper bottle α, it is desirable to provide a gas barrier layer that is less permeable to ethanol than the rubber material of the dropper cap part outside the dropper cap part 2, and in the dropper bottle α, the dropper rubber part 2 A gas barrier layer (which is a CVD coating using a conformal coating agent of Kishimoto Sangyo Co., Ltd.) made of a chemical vapor deposition method using paraxylylene resin is provided on the outside of the material, and the above weight loss can be almost eliminated.

  Further, since the resin layer forming the gas barrier layer is stronger than the rubber material mainly against dirt caused by dirt on the operator's finger, the operation part is less likely to get dirty, and a secondary effect is obtained in that it is kept clean. .

  The dropper bottle according to the present invention can be suitably used as a container for liquid natural health foods including a propolis liquid, or as a container for medicines and physicochemicals that are managed by the number of liquid drops. .
